We stayed in Manolis' appartament for one week. Everything was like in the picture, very comfortable place and well situated with close beaches and supermarkets; 15 minutes by bus from Iraklion. Manolis was very nice and helpful, we really appreciate that we could stay longer the last day because our departure was very late. Thank you for everything! Highly recommended

We really enjoyed our 2 week stay in Kokkini Hani which is a great place, central, 10 min from Heraklion airport. Manolis and his family received us very warmly with lots of suggestions, maps, information, some fruits and a bottle of wine; every question and request has been answered to within 5 minutes. The studio is well equipped and clean - with everything you'll need to make food and make yourself comfortable during your stay. The small private terrace at the back is just amazing. Manolis even arranged for us to use the washing machine of one of the appartments which we much appreciated. + the Bus station is within a 1 minute walk - busses are running regularly every 15-20 minutes + the supermarket just down the studio on the right hand side is open every day until 00.00 + the beach is within 2 minute walking distance - a set of 2 beach chairs with umbrella is available for 4 € at the Haris bar as well as any kind of refreshments What I'd also like to mention is, that the Cretan people are totally warm, friendly and happy to welcome every tourist (yes, also the Germans) on their island. The problems Greece has to deal with at the moment are not dampening that! All in all we can only recommend this studio wholeheartedly and without any reservation :) Thank you for everything Evi & Manolis. Looking forward to seeing you again

Manolis and his family were the best. A lovely peoply, they made sure that we had everything we needed and were most helpful in sharing their knowledge about the area. Manolis was the most hospitable and entertaining hosts we´ve ever encountered. The location was perfect for as. We enjoyed the walk on the beach every evening, and visited all the restaurants Manolis recommended to us. Spendig one “raki – evening” with the family in their lovely garden, we have to say… “This is how a guest house should be run.”

Excellent accueil de la part de Manolis et de sa fille. Manolis est de très bon conseil en ce qui concerne la visite de son île et très disponible pour ses résidants.

Fantastic accommodation, friendly helpful host and family, went well beyond my expectations. I will definitely go back.

We stayed at George's flat for five nights and we really loved it! The place is nice, modern and well located. His parents were very helpful and friendly. Watch the cat - he's crazy! :-)

This was an unforgettable holiday in a beautiful apartment near the sea with all the necessary facilities and warm atmosphere. Best of all, we have experienced the hospitality of the host so we felt if we were at home. George , I'll see you next year!

George's place was perfect for a quick getaway! The house was just as it was described, very clean and had everything we needed. We were welcomed by his parents upon our arrival. They shared some homemade wine and food with us along with the neighbors! We would love to go back again!

George and his parents are incredibly warm, friendly, and generous folks!! We truly felt like their home became our home during our stay. The flat is also a delightfully designed space, with a large kitchen/living room space, cozy and well stocked for cooking and hanging out at home when we wanted to stay in. When we wanted to go out, buses to nearby Heraklion and other towns along the Cretan coast were cheap and frequent enough to make getting around very easy. The flat had the best of both worlds, as we had plenty of privacy and independence but George's parents were nearby and available when we accidentally locked ourselves out, or to offer us some homemade greek coffee and snacks while relaxing together for a brief chat. I loved that home during our stay was right by the beach, and also just a 10 minute walk from the Cretaquarium, which is definitely worth a visit. And as an added bonus, George cooked a meal with us, sharing his grandmother's traditional cuttlefish recipe!! It was amazing!! We feel super lucky to have gotten to hang out with George since he is often working abroad. Thank you so much George, Niki, and Yanis for welcoming us into their home and their hearts. We will definitely visit again!!! <3

We really loved George's apartment. It is well equipped and has anything you need for a wonderful stay. His parents welcomed us very warm and with great care. We stayed only for one day and we regret, that didn't stay for longer, very nice place!

Friendly local people, the flat is close to the sea and in a very quite place.

Hôte très sympa et appartement très joli appartement. Je le conseil!

Thanks a lot to George and his amazing family for my unforgettable Cretan vacation! I'm so appreciated about care and hospitality of this amazing people. The apartment is situated in a quiet place near magnificent sea, everything is near: restaurants, bars and supermarket. Inside of home there is a lot of interesting and creative details of decoration, kitchen with everything you need and a terrace with a table and sunbeds. I'll already miss this place and people. Hope to visit them again!

We are a family of 5, with girls aging 1,6, and 8. Michael came to pick us up from the airport and we followed him about 15 minutes drive to the house. The house is exactly as it is depicted, having all the facilities we needed. Everything was tidy and clean, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, bedrooms and bathrooms were also perfect. The fridge was already packed with Greek yogurts, cheese, milk, fruits and vegetables, white wine - everything you need to get yourself started and even more. Michael was extremely friendly and helpful, was very attentive to everything we needed or asked him, and he even spoiled us with great home made moussaka, stuffed peppers and tzatziki. The beach is just two minutes drive from home, and it's a nice one for that. The aquarium is about 5 minutes drive, and the water park 'watercity' is about 15 minutes drive inland. We usually had breakfast and dinner at the house, enjoying the great weather and the serenity. We had a wonderful week, and if we come to Crete again, we would definitely stay at Michael's place.

Michael and Katy were excellent hosts. They met us at the airport which was very much appreciated and guided us to their lovely house. The house was even more beautiful than the photos and had all modern comforts and many unexpected extras. We particularly enjoyed the outside terraces for breakfasting or relaxing in the evenings. It is in a rural location so it's best to have a car, but you can walk to the beach and the beach tavernas in under 15 minutes. Highly recommended, the best Airbnb we've been to!

Michailis is kind and welcoming. Always available and great sense of communication and hospitality. The house was better than our expectations. Full furnished, clean, comfortable and bright. So many positive energy that we really relaxed and enjoy our time there. I recommend this house to couples or families. You can book the eyes closed. Extra point for this house which is ecological!! Congratulations to both of you. Thank you

We get a nice welcome from Michael and Katy and can really recommend this house to everyone that want's to visit Crete. We have to kids with us and a house with garden was perfect for them.

The host canceled this reservation 153 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Michael was an attentive, warm, and communicative host. His hospitality, and that of his wife Katie, went above and beyond. Michael met us by car and drove us in to ensure we could find the house OK. Katie cooked our family a hot meal which was waiting for us when we arrived. They bought several items useful to our family our six and had them waiting in the kitchen/fridge. The house was beautiful and user-friendly in every way. The beds were ample and comfortable. It was a lovely house, and we had a lovely experience.

The apartment was very cozy and clean, everything as listed in the description. Ideal for one or two people. Near the sea, 5 minutes. Shops and buses are also within walking distance, almost every day went to Heraklion or Hersonissos. I will be glad once again to stay at this place.

Peter is very nice host, I would recommend to stay in his place, which is not so far from Heraclion. You will find clean and beautiful beaches around, shops near his place and aquarium with sharks. Location is very peaceful and people are friendly. So, come to Crete and see by yourself.

A éviter. Les photos ne sont pas représentatives de la chambre!!!

The room is very nice and looks just like on the pictures, it is also very well located very close to the beach, several taverns, and the bus station. Peter has also been quite generous to me by offering me to come with him as he drove to the shop and also shared some fruits with me. The communication however was a bit difficult due to Peter not speaking very well english. The kitchen also does look nothing like the one on the picture, and you might not want to rely on it for your meals as it is not really furnished. The last point is that there is no wifi, only a cable you can plug to your laptop or directly use Peter's, but he is using it most of the time so you might not want to be relying on that either. These are just a few points I wish I knew about before booking for the room, but they did not keep me from having an awesome time in Crete which is a gorgeous place that I would happily come back to spend more time at.

I was urgently looking for a place in the middle of the night, and Peter was so nice to help me, answer the phone and wait until I arrived! He picked us up from the busstation and helped us a lot, and it was so last minute, so kind from him! I felt at home :)

Very nice location, nice and clean room a little bit noisy because of the road next to it.. In general we had a good experience staying there! Thank you Giorgos!

В первый раз прилетели в Грецию, планировали путешествие по острову ( Аг.Пелагия, Хани Кокини, Херсонес). После первой остановки, впечатление было немного двояким, штормило, рядом пляж совсем не впечатлил, для детей однозначно нет, мы были с ребенком 4-х лет, ходили 10-15 минут до отельного пляжа с мелким желтым песком. Удобно съездить в аквапарк и океанариум, что мы и сделали. Само помещение пахнет сыростью, у меня ребенок аллергик стал кашлять сразу. Плюсы-вай фай, рядом в минутк большой маркет. Не было никаких приветственных корзин, в целом дружелюбный хозяин и был на связи. Не понравился один момент, что при переписке у обоих произошло недопонимание, за маленького ребенка мы договорились о скидке, а в итоге пепед самым приездом нас поставили перед фактом о полной оплате, я лучше бы продлила предыдущее жилье, которое выгло бы мне со скидкой хорошей и огромной личной территорией. В целом на несколько дней или только ночевать.

I spent a very nice time at Kokkini Chani at the Manolis' place. The apartement was close to a sandy beach which I can mention by describing Crete one of its most beautiful side is sea and sun besides the foods. Manolis was waiting us with a bottle of white vine during the check-in. Afterwords we had the opportunity to chat with him many times in front of the the small lovely veranda of the apartement. He is really a very good reprasantative of the traditional Greek hospitality. Please note that the apartement is available only two and (maybe) a half person :)

We were staying in this place at the beginning of October, for 4 nights. The apartment was very pleasant and well equipped, located centrally so really easy to access anywhere. Manolis welcomed us in a very cosy and generous manner. If you stay in Kokkini Hani, we really recommend you Manolis's place!

Great place! Manolis was an excellent host and gave us much useful information about the area. Also close to the beach, airport and good food.

Une très bonne semaine passé en Crête,vraiment super! Manolis et sa famille nous ont accueilli royalement,nous ont guidé du début à la fin! Des hôtes fantastiques!!! Au delà de nos espérances d'ailleurs!!! Le studio est très bien situé et bien équipé également! Toutes les commodités sont à portées de mains( bus, super-marché, restaurant, bar, magasin de souvenirs) , bref tout ce qu'il faut. Un grand merci pour tout Manolis! Et à bientôt!

Very friendly welcome by Manolis and his son. The location of the place is convenient: close to the airport, next to shops, a few steps from the beach. As for swimming, we found the quiet beach at the tiny adjoining village Gournes more pleasant than that of bustling Kokkini Hani.

Manolis war ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sofort wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Die Unterkunft war sehr gut gelegen und schön. Bei unserem nächsten Kreta-Urlaub werden wir wieder auf Manolis zurückkommen.

Manolis and Evi were amazing hosts! I absolutely loved the place! Evi came to get us from our bus stop upon arrival, and they greeted us with a local Cretan white wine, and a big bowl of fresh fruit. Manolis took the time to answer all of our questions, and give us the recommendations we were seeking. The place was very nice, just like in the pictures. It felt like living in Crete, not at a hotel. The patio area has a beautiful garden to sit in, and the beach/restaurants/shopping is all very close (walking distance). I loved the little town of Kokkini Hani, it is a small town where everyone knows everyone, and is not far from the cities, very good location. It was the perfect place to become an engaged couple, which is just what we did! Thank you Manolis and Evi for everything, your hospitality is beyond gracious. We will come back, and I recommend everyone to come here.
